This demand will serve Hoxha well as he continues to champion solar energy in Kosovo and work toward a better future for his country. His timing could not be better as Kosovo and its neighbors recently committed to using renewable sources, including wind and hydro in addition to solar power, for 20 percent of their energy needs in the coming years.
In late December 2022, Kosovo became the first country in the Western Balkans Economy to use solar energy for district heating. Kosovo’s Minister of Finance, Labour and Transfers, Hekuran Murati, said the project would ensure access to the central heating system for about 38,000 citizens.
Kosovo has the potential of capturing solar energy directly and converting it to electricity. The region of highest solar potential based on global horizontal irradiation is the southeastern part of Kosovo, centred around the city of Gjakova. Solar power is already used on the roofs of some buildings.
The Kosovo Statistics Agency reports that Kosovo’s average pre-tax monthly salary for public and private sector workers is €521; the private sector-only average is €473. These wages are amongst the lowest in Europe, and the current tax regime is business-friendly with a flat 10 percent corporate income tax.
